Alabama Special Election (Roy Moore diddles, GOP thumbs up, Mr. Jones goes to Washington) - Page 73 - Politics and Economics

Guys, if election night in 2016 showed us anything, it's you can't take exit polls seriously. People are not gonna show their cards when it comes to supporting a deplorable like Trump or Moore.

This is what I've been saying for awhile and why I think Moore will win by a decent margin. May be closer than I thought (more like 5), but people seriously forget about this.

Interesting how extremely different 538 and CNN vote counts are.

I really hope Luther Strange gets enough write in votes to flip the election to Jones. Would be hilarious after the GOP spent $30 million against Moore in the first place.

I can't watch CNN from the UK, but does the channel say what counties they're counting now?

Yeah, this is how I see it.

Same thing happened in GA with Handel. People don't want to admit they vote for these people but they're not voting for a Dem over them.

Looks like WaPo, Politico and CNN are more in line with each other. 538 has the vote counts way more in favor of Jones.

You cannot compare Handel to JUDGE ROY MOORE.

Come on.

He barely won his last election in 2012----- 52/48.

You overestimate how many people -- even in Alabama -- support that ****.

Greatest possible outcome is that Jones wins, but with a margin smaller than the number of write in votes.

I mean I know it's super early but it appears to be a mix of blue and red counties coming in with Jones well ahead according to WaPo.

Trump, samething.

The polls are wrong because people just don't want to admit they support Republicans right now. But after all the rhetoric, Trump is pretty much a more clownish version of Jeb Bush, so why wouldn't a Republican support him? The policies are largely the same.
